    Summary

    Milverton picked up a spoon, dipped it into the porridge, blew gently on the rising steam, then raised it with patient care, as though he were a devoted caretaker. He brought the spoon close to William's lips. This time, William parted his mouth slightly, whether from reflex of a weakened body or from yielding at last to Milverton's pressure.

    The spoon entered, the warm porridge sliding over his tongue. Its taste was bland, nearly without memory. But William swallowed slowly all the same.

    Milverton smiled with satisfaction at this rare moment of obedience.

    "There, that's better. You see? Not so difficult."

    William's body was gaunt, worsened after his critical state. His collarbones jutted sharp beneath his skin, his long fingers frail like dry twigs ready to snap. Now and then, a faint cough revealed that his lungs were failing under the cold air. They both knew that if William simply died, it would mean Milverton's defeat in controlling him.

    Summary

    Content Warning:
    This story contains themes of addiction relapse, mental health struggles, grief, and emotional trauma. It also explores recovery, found family, and healing.

    One year after the events of The Final Problem, Sherlock Holmes is living again at 221B Baker Street-with John Watson and baby Rosie now back under the same roof. As John and Sherlock begin to rebuild their relationship, Sherlock finds himself slipping-haunted by the ghost of Moriarty, the shadow of a chilling new case, and the buried guilt of a sister he never truly knew. When the walls start closing in again, the real question becomes: will Sherlock stay sober-or will death be the only way out?

    Summary

    Molly and Sherlock have gone their separate ways post The Final Problem. Several months later they are forced to come together due to terrible circumstances. Things are not the same for either of them. Unresolved issues aside, they both now have something or rather someone else in common. Will Molly's secret destroy them or would it act as the catalyst that Molly and Sherlock so hopelessly need? The more desperately Molly tries to get out of the situation, the more she gets sucked back into it.

    As Mycroft once said to Sherlock, "What do we say about coincidence?"

    The universe is rarely so lazy.

    Summary

    Mary suggested to me that documenting my thoughts in some manner would do me some good. I am inclined to agree with her, as it was my habit to write down the many peculiarities that confronted me through my correspondence with Sherlock Holmes. I hope it will, at least, remind me that things are indeed happening to me, and that I am not stuck still in that dreadful day.

    Summary

    Когда прежний мир рушится, трудно поверить, что расстояние лечит...

    [— Это мой второй шанс.
    — А я думал, здесь твой второй шанс, — в голосе Льюиса послышались нотки обиды и досады.
    — Ты что-то путаешь, малыш, — снисходительно проговорил Хит и посмотрел так, будто говорил самые очевидные вещи на свете. — Здесь, — он выделил это слово, — не может быть вторых шансов. Это перевалочный пункт.]

    Summary

    Gregory Lestrade simply smiled sympathetically -- he had a nice smile, Mycroft noted. “Yes, short for Gregory. And, no worries. Sherlock said his brother was an arse, but I honestly can’t see where he’s coming from.”

    Wow, he said things like ‘no worries’. How breathtakingly regular, informal, stress-free (compared to Mycroft, anyway). And, was that a compliment? Oh, Mycroft hadn’t received one of those in a while. It was… Refreshing.

    “I don’t want you to panic,” Greg continued, but luckily that wouldn't have been Mycroft’s go-to reaction anyway. “But your brother and sister aren’t here,” Greg paused, maybe for dramatic effect, but Mycroft just stared at him silently: he’d already gathered that.

    ...

    After the events of The Final Problem in Sherrinford Prison, DI Lestrade finds Mycroft Holmes crying in his sister's cell. Bestowed with Sherlock's instructions to 'make sure he's looked after', he takes it upon himself to comfort Mycroft. Therefore, Lestrade offers his companionship but soon finds himself partial to the human embodiment of the British government. Little does he know the feeling is mutual.

    Summary

    In which William just woke up from his coma and is trying to sort out his thoughts regarding staying alive and the consequences of this. Then Sherlock arrives and the rooftop scene™ happens.

    (sorry for such a short summary)

    Edit: I've rewritten the part about William's thoughts because I felt like it could have been so much better, I'm satisfied with it now.
